Weight Loss Medication & Bariatric Surgery
Ward Nutrition: Accredited Dietitians for Sustainable Weight Loss & Bariatric Nutrition Support
Losing weight can be challenging, and quick‑fix or fad diets rarely lead to long‑term success. While restrictive dieting may produce short‑term results, weight often returns once the diet ends. At Ward Nutrition, we focus on sustainable weight loss, helping you build healthy habits rather than relying on temporary diet plans.
With more than 25 years of experience, our Accredited Practising Dietitians support clients across the Central West, Orange, and Sydney. We help you understand the deeper factors that influence weight gain, including:
Stress and emotional eating
Low self-worth and poor body image
Habitual eating patterns and food scripts
Addiction and weight conflict
Weight management is not only about what you eat , it’s also about why and when you eat. Claire and her team provide personalised nutrition counselling, mindful eating strategies, and intuitive eating support to help you develop a healthier relationship with food. You can learn more through our mindful eating blog.
Body Composition Scans & Comprehensive Nutrient Analysis
Ward Nutrition uses advanced body composition scanning to accurately track your progress. This ensures you are losing body fat, not muscle mass or fluid, which is essential for long‑term weight maintenance.
We also offer detailed dietary analysis to assess your intake of essential nutrients, vitamins, and minerals. This helps ensure you meet your recommended dietary requirements and maintain optimal health.

Claire works closely with leading bariatric surgeons and weight‑loss specialists across the Central West and Sydney, providing tailored nutritional support for clients undergoing:

We collaborate with:
Dr Henry Hook, Bariatric Surgeon, Bloomfield Medical Centre
Dr Catherine Crane from Orange Healthy Weight Clinic (OHWC),
Correct nutrition before and after bariatric surgery is essential. Key nutrients — including protein, iron, vitamin B12, vitamin A, vitamin B, vitamin C, and vitamin D — must be monitored to minimise side effects and maintain your health.
Fertility & Pregnancy Nutrition After Bariatric Surgery
Pregnancy after bariatric surgery requires specialised nutritional care. Increased nutrient needs, combined with surgical restrictions, can make it challenging to meet the requirements for both mother and baby.
Ward Nutrition has a strong interest in supporting fertility, pregnancy, and post‑bariatric maternal health. We ensure you receive the correct vitamins and tailored nutrition to support healthy growth and development. If you are planning a pregnancy or are already pregnant, we recommend a consultation with an experienced bariatric dietitian.
